Question 604 Deck Safety

The correct answer is B) continuous sounding of the ship's whistle and the general alarm for at least 10 seconds. This is the correct answer because the traditional signal for a fire aboard ship is the continuous sounding of the ship's whistle and the general alarm for at least 10 seconds. This alerts all crew members of the emergency and prompts them to respond according to the ship's fire safety procedures. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the traditional fire signal. Option A describes a different signal, option C is too complex, and option D is too simple to effectively communicate a shipboard fire emergency.
